This weaving lecture, demonstration, and workshop will feature the community-based cooperative Baraclayan Weavers Association. Unlike the weaving groups in Brgy Indag-an, the Baraclayan group is relatively new, thus, their participation in the program will help raise awareness of the various weaving communities in Iloilo, in the hope that it would inspire greater community support to ensure this intangible cultural heritage will continuously thrive.
The program is in partnership with Yosef Gabriel D. Pe, a senior high school from Gamot Cogon Waldorf School in Brgy. Libongcogon, Zarraga, Iloilo. Yosef will share his mentorship experience with the Baraclayan weavers, stressing the importance of transfer of knowledge in ensuring the continuity of hablon weaving as an intangible cultural heritage.
As an alternative learning space, the makes way for culture bearers and community members to meet. Through this, the public’s awareness of the culture and traditions of the community is reinforced. Participants will also be able to try weaving on the loom, and experience the labor, time, and heart put into every piece of handwoven hablon. This is also an opportune time to show support and establish network that would strengthen community-based initiatives like the livelihood of Baraclayan weavers.
Bring your family and friends, and experience weaving at National Museum of the Philippines - Iloilo See you!
